INTRODUCTION
In 2014, the organising committee of Te Rā o Te Raukura (Te Rā) asked Regional Public Health (RPH) to develop a survey with them for the annual Te Rā Sunday festival – 2016 marks the second year of doing so.
This report provides the results of the survey questionnaires completed by 512 festival goers at the 2016 Te Rā held on Sunday 31st January. Festival details, photos and information on the layout and organisations involved are also weaved into this report to offer context to the findings.
BACKGROUND
Te Rā o Te Raukura is an annual whānau oriented community festival. ‘Arohanui ki te Tangata’ is the guiding statement expressing sentiments of sharing, love, respect and togetherness towards our fellow neighbour. There is a focus on whānau, culture, entertainment, health, education and youth, all centred around the characteristic day long stage schedule of renowned local acts and national artists coordinated by iwi radio station Atiawa Toa FM. Te Rā is an alcohol, smoke and sugar free drinks festival. This was enhanced with a focus in 2016 on promoting water only or ‘Wai Māori’.
Being established 22 years ago, Te Rā has grown into the premier Māori festival for the wider Wellington region, and is now a two day event. It attracts up to 20,000 people to Te Whiti Park in Waiwhetū, Lower Hutt. On the Saturday the focus is kapa haka performances from local groups. The traditional Sunday festival is a family oriented music based event surrounded with a range of fun activities, food, arts and crafts and health, education and youth services.
The name of this event, Te Rā o Te Raukura, is significant to the people of Waiwhetū and the tangata whenua in the Wellington region. The 'Raukura' was used as a symbol of peace, love and harmony by the prophet Te Whiti-o-Rongomai at Parihaka. He and fellow prophet, Tohu Kākahi, led their people to passive resistance and patient obedience as an armed constabulary invaded the peaceful village of Parihaka on 5 November 1881. Te Rā commemorates this day and celebrates unity in Lower Hutt and the wider Wellington region.
Kapa Haka on Saturday
This year the Saturday kapa haka event was the biannual Wellington Regional Kapa Haka Competition – affectionately known as ‘Haka in the Park’. Qualifiers from this competition advance to the National Te Matatini Festival to be hosted by Ngāti Kahungunu in the Hawke’s Bay in 2017.

PURPOSE
Te Rā organisers identified that the purpose of the survey would be to build their knowledge and evidence base of who the festival goers are, how they rate the; aims, kaupapa, entertainment, stalls, services, and facilities on the day, and what Te Rā means to the attendees.
A participatory process was led by RPH with leaders from all areas of the Te Rā organising committee to classify and document the purpose of the festival for the organisers. Knowledge was gathered and a picture of the foundation areas, aims and driving theme of the festival emerged. This awareness is represented below in the Te Rā o Te Raukura Festival Model, and in turn informed the design and delivery of the survey.
Te Rā o Te Raukura Festival Model
Te Rā o Te Raukura is based on foundation areas of whanau, culture, entertainment, health, education and youth. The aims of these foundation areas is to work towards providing a festive day in the spririt of arohanui ki te tangata (goodwill to all).

SURVEY METHODOLOGY
The survey results were gathered through a self-administered questionnaire given to festival goers to fill in, with access to help from a trained data collector standing nearby if required. See Appendix A for the questionnaire.
Survey group
The survey group included festival goers only (stall holders, acts or organisers were not included). It was identified that 378 completed and useable questionnaires were required to reach a 95 per cent confidence level of plus or minus five per cent (Salant and Dillman, 1994). The final sample achieved was 514 of which two were excluded for lack of detail. The final study group is based on 512 respondents.
Data collectors
A team of 15 were selected and trained to collect data from participants on the day of the festival. Collectors included thirteen community based personnel, a public health analyst and a public health advisor. The community personnel were recruited with assistance from Te Rā committee leaders and compensated by Regional Public Health. All collectors were given a written brief on their role, along with a short training to ensure consistent processes were used for selection. Each was provided a clipboard, forms, pens, suburb lists and giveaways.
Systematic sample selection
To ensure a systematic selection was achieved two approaches were used:
1. A station consisting of personnel, gazebo, chairs and table was set up at the major exit point of the festival from 11am giving two hours for attendees to experience the festival until the festival end. Every tenth person (11 years or older) leaving the park was asked to fill in a questionnaire. If they declined, the collector would continue to ask people until one accepted.
2. Between 1pm and 3pm 10 of the survey team staff were sent out in pairs to sweep five designated zones and ask every tenth person to complete a questionnaire.
Every hour a count was made to check progress against the minimal target of 378.
Data management, analysis and presentation of findings
Epi Info 7 (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014) was the database system used to enter, manage and analyse data. A variety of different data presentation options i.e. graphing styles and analysis, were presented in draft to leaders of the Te Rā committee for feedback before final findings were put into this report.

A high level of agreement was given for all four of the above statements with 82% agreeing or strongly agreeing with b), and 85% with c). The highest level of agreement was with a) at 94%, and d) at 91%.
Positive ratings were given for all areas of the festival with the Hauora tent gaining the highest amount of ‘excellent and very good’ ratings (81%) followed closely by Stage Entertainment (79%) and then the Matauranga tent (75%).
Amusements and Amusements Prices had the lowest overall rating with the least amount of ‘very good and excellent’ ratings, and also the highest amount of ‘fair’ and ‘poor’ responses. Overall, 65% of youth (11-25yr olds) reported the youth zone as very good or excellent; older youth (20-24 yrs) rated the youth zone higher (80% very good or excellent), than the younger youth.
The majority of people who come to Te Rā support the kaupapa and policies to provide a healthy environment. With water only being introduced this year it was the least supported policy but still supported by more than 6 out of 10 people.
Overall the survey results showed that Te Rā o te Raukura is rated very highly by the majority of people in attendance, with 87% rating it as either excellent or very good.
